step-down DC/DC controller providing excellent AC and
DC load and line regulation. The device incorporates an
accurate undervoltage lockout feature that shuts down the
LTC1772B when the input voltage falls below 2.0V.
The LTC1772B provides a ± 2.5% output voltage accuracy
and consumes only 270μA of quiescent current. In shut-
down, the device draws a mere 8μA.
To further maximize the life of a battery source, the
external P-channel MOSFET is turned on continuously
in dropout (100% duty cycle). High constant operating
frequency of 550kHz allows the use of a small external
inductor.
The LTC1772B is available in a small footprint 6-lead
TSOT-23.
For a Burst Mode operation enabled version of the
LTC1772B, please refer to the LTC1772 data sheet.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC1772BE is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C to
85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature range
are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical
process controls. The LTC1772BI is guaranteed to meet specifications over
the full –40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.
Note 3:

Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5:
The LTC1772B is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
FB
to the
output of the error amplifier.
Note 6:
Peak current sense voltage is reduced dependent on duty cycle to
a percentage of value as given in Figure 2.

TH
/RUN (Pin 1):
This pin performs two functions. It
serves as the error amplifier compensation point as well
as the run control input. Nominal voltage range for this
pin is 0.85V to 1.9V. Forcing this pin below 0.35V causes
the device to be shut down. In shutdown all functions are
